Output File Name After Exec

[neilac333 <ne...@soteradefense.com>]

I have a Camel route that starts off with an executable for which I use exec
and which produces an output file. The name of the file is specified in the
outFile parameter to Exec. What I want to do next is to pass that file
/name/--not the contents--in the message body to the next component in the
route. 

Seems simple enough, but I don't see any clues in the documentation as to
how to get that outFile name into a message body. Your insight is
appreciated.

Thanks.

Can you provide the non working route?

Hi,

outFile is an option that you use to instruct the exec component on which
file is the output of the executed command;
in other words the component first execs the command then grab the outFile
specified and put it in the body;

that said, assuming ${outFilePath} is a property correctly resolved, I
would do something similar to:
from("servlet:///my-endpoint")
            .to("exec:${shellScriptPath}?outFile=${outFilePath}")
            .setBody(${outFilePath})
            .bean(new DataProvider())
            .marshal(jsonDataFormat)

Even if executing a command that produce an output in a file and discarding
that file seems odd to me.

Andrea.

Thanks for your responses. 

To answer the first question, here is the route I have so far:

from("servlet:///my-endpoint")
            .to("exec:${shellScriptPath}?outFile=${outFilePath}")
            .convertBodyTo(String.class)
            .bean(new DataProvider())
            .marshal(jsonDataFormat)

What I would like to do is replace the convertBodyTo with something that
would send ${outFilePath}--the outFile /name/--as the message body. As it
stands now, the outFile /contents/ are the message body.

As for Claus' solution, I am familiar with the transformer EIP, but I am not
sure how to apply it. In other words, I am not sure how to transform
/org.apache.camel.components.exec.ExecResult/ into a string with the outFile
value.

I would appreciate some clarification on what I'm missing.

Thanks.

See this EIP
http://camel.apache.org/message-translator.html

To set the message body with the content of a message header

<transform>
   <header>myHeader</header>
</transform>

Using the header language
http://camel.apache.org/header.html
